It is famous for its breathtaking views of the holy lakes of Masar Tal and Vasuki Tal. The Mayali Pass Trek stands out as a top Places to visit in Kedarnath, providing an unforgettable experience.

The Mayali pass viewpoint provides breathtaking views of adjacent peaks such as Thalay Sagar, Kedar Dome, and other Gangotri region peaks. The rich green forest covers, snow-capped mountains, and small hamlet settlements along the Bhilangana River are also notable features of this region. 

The adventure mix of Auden's Col, Khatling Glacier, and Mayali Pass is often regarded as the most difficult trip in Garhwal Uttarakhand and is rarely attempted by trekkers. Nonetheless, the Mayali Pass trip is a veritable melting pot of unrivaled natural beauty, rustic hill living, and an adrenaline rush. 

The journey to Mayali Pass can be done in two ways: one from Ghuttu and the other from Mala village near Uttarkashi. While the Mala trek route offers postcard-perfect scenery, it is a 2-week journey. The walk from Ghuttu is shorter (9–10 days).

The Mayali Pass walk begins at Reeh, a small village surrounded by rhododendrons and pine forests. Gangi, at an elevation of 8500 feet, is roughly 12 kilometers from Reeh. Gangi is the trail's final settlement.

You can see Khatling glacier if you glance back from where you came. Masartal is a modest yet lovely camping area with many boulders. The path to Masar top is on the left side of Mansar Lake and is fairly hard, with a gradient of over 65 degrees.
